Actually, Republicans Did Vote to End Medicare

PolitiFact had no basis for saying otherwise. (I've lobbed an email in to them; I'm sure that will make them come around.) I figured the reason for this isn't just a mere fetish for false equivalence. Looking over their "Pants on Fire" ratings, the prior receipients were:

Reince Priebus

Michelle Bachmann

WorldNetDaily

Rick Santorum

Glenn Beck

Chain e-mail

Donald Trump

Chain e-mail

Chain e-mail

Tim Pawlenty

Bloggers

Michelle Bachmann

Mike Prendergast

CrossroadsGPS

American Action Network

Dan Coats

John Raese

Christine O'Donnell

Christine O'Donnell

Before we get to a Democrat, Nancy Pelosi. (The chain e-mails, bloggers, and anyone else you don't recognize on the list above are all conservatives.) Clearly, there must be an internal rule at PFact that you can't go more than 20 Republicans before dragging a Democrat in for balance.
